UEFA has been urged to block any Qatar-based bid for Manchester United amid concerns over the integrity of European competitions.
The human rights group FairSquare has written to UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin to express concerns over Qatari investors owning both United and French club Paris Saint-Germain.
The Gulf state, which hosted last year's World Cup, already owns PSG through Qatar Sports Investments [QSI], which is closely linked to the country's sovereign wealth fund, the Qatar Investment Authority [QIA].
Sportsmail revealed last week that Qatari investors are 'confident' of blowing away any competitors in the bidding war for the Old Trafford club, with a deadline for offers looming on Friday.

The hate against the Arabic world by the West is insane. Boehly can do as he likes coz he is American but any Middle East ownership is disriputing the integrity of European Competition.

we have great people here who reason very well. I think before they talk about Arabs and Qatar to be blocked, let them just talk about currupt in football like is just yesterday we all saw what they did to forma Chelsea owner Roman because of a Russian war as if he was a soldier in the battle field. they always for about the human right they are calling for,is it not for everyone to worship his or her maker? in the right way now they are putting politics in football, remember what they did to OZil in Arsenal? and why?

All this is because they can't get them under their control like they do in Africa so they have to use media and make them look bad in the eyes of everyone.
